WRITING CHECKS Clause Samples
The "Writing Checks" clause establishes the rules and procedures for issuing checks as a form of payment under the agreement. It typically outlines who is authorized to write checks, any requirements for signatures, and the acceptable purposes for which checks may be used. By setting these guidelines, the clause helps prevent unauthorized or improper payments and ensures that all parties understand the process for making payments by check, thereby reducing the risk of disputes or fraud.
WRITING CHECKS. Write your checks in ink and fill in all lines carefully and completely. Do not leave room on the numeral line to insert a number between the dollar sign and the first Arabic numeral or on any written line to insert a word. Use a check protector to imprint the amount of your check if you have one. Sign your checks clearly. Illegible signatures are more easily forged. Do not give anyone a blank check that you have signed. Do not preprint your driver's license number or Social Security or taxpayer identification number on your checks. Use tamper-resistant check stock. Do not allow anyone to sign your name on your checks. Keep your mobile devices with you or lock them away when they're not needed. Password-protect them to protect against unauthorized use. When it comes to apps, be careful before you click. Only download from legitimate online stores. If your computer is set up to "auto-load" removable media (e.g., USB drives, SD cards), disable this feature and instead scan these items before you open them. Passwords should be complex and frequently changed. Do not share passwords. Password-protect your router and other wireless connections. Never open email attachments or click on links from unknown or suspicious sources, including social media sites. Disregard in-person, phone, text message, email or web requests that ask you to share your personal or account information unless you are sure the request and requestor are legitimate. Be careful on social media. Avoid posting too much personal information. Utilize privacy controls to limit who can see what. ACH transaction and wire transfer security is especially critical - Use security tokens only when releasing an ACH or wire transaction, never at login. CNB will never initiate a communication to request entry of security tokens. If you enter a token to complete a transaction and you get an error message, you are logged off the system or you do not get a confirmation contact us IMMEDIATELY. There is increased likelihood your computer has been hacked. Keep your card in a safe place. If your card is lost or stolen, contact us at once. Remember your personal identification number ("PIN"). Do not write it on your card, keep it in your wallet or share it with anyone. Do not provide your card information or your PIN to anyone over the telephone, email, Internet or otherwise, unless you are positive you know the person and you want the person to be able to conduct transactions on you...
